The Other Green Vegetable
One of humanity's greatest achievements is the development of farming. Farming was key in the rise of the "sedentary lifestyle" that allowed people to remain in one location and build settlements. The great cities and towns in which we have constructed are a direct result of our ability to farm fresh food, fuel and raw materials.
As demand for agriculture has increased, the land use has remained relatively constant due to advanced farming techniques. – One is the use of synthetic pesticides- the most widespread method for pest control "...Farmers spend approximately $4.1 billion on pesticides annually. They justify this high cost by a direct dollar return of from $3 to $5 for every $1 spent on pesticides." (1991 edition of the Handbook of Pest Management in Agriculture.) Pesticides are specifically formulated to be toxic to living organisms, and, consequently, hazardous to health of human beings. Most pesticides used today are acutely toxic, causing poisoning and even death.
Sustainable Farming Solution
Sustainable methods of farming benefit everyone. These are the methods of farming that enhance the quality of the environment, do not compromise health and also take into account the welfare of nature. The development of sustainable agriculture allows farmers to produce healthy food without diminishing the ability of future generations to do the same.
Phytoplankton, the microalgae found in the ocean is the world's most abundant, healthy and sustainable vegetable imaginable! It is the super vegetable found in the sea that feeds and fuels 99% percent of marine life. It is free of the pesticides found in land based farming and contains 20 amino acids, high amounts of protein, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Marine algae is already heavily used for the feeding of cattle and animals in need of high amounts of amino acids and protein that are not found in land based plants.
Eating fresh and raw vegetables is the most effective way to absorb the nutrients. There are three main forms of amino acids – phytoplankton is a key source for two of them – eicospanetaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which are the two most sought after forms of amino acid. Both contain long structure polyunsaturated fats and are easily converted in the body reducing inflammation. Supplementing phytoplankton into your diet provides the only natural source of both DHA and EPA.
Hundreds of studies suggest that omega-3s may provide some benefits to a wide range of diseases: cancer, asthma, depression, cardiovascular disease, ADHD, and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
How could fatty acids be so beneficial for so many different conditions?
"All these diseases have a common genesis in inflammation," says Joseph C. Maroon, MD, professor and vice chairman of the department of neurological surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Co-author of Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-Inflammatory, Maroon says that in large enough amounts omega-3′s reduce the inflammatory process that leads to many chronic conditions.
Live phytoplankton should be supplemented into the diet everyone that wants to live a longer, healthier happier life. PhytOriginal is grown in purified nutrient-rich ocean conditions so it never has any toxins like fish oil. It is completely natural and renewable as well as 100% organic. Developed by a University of Chicago molecular biologist, it is live phytoplankton that quickly and efficiently passes nutrients into our body.

Jordan Markuson is the Head of Research for Aqua Health Labs. He has been a nutritionist, coservationist and writer for over 10 years. He is an activist supporting consumption of raw vegetables and eating only renewable, natural and organic foods. Jordan believes that based on all available scientific evidence, once food is cooked it loses the majority its important nutrients. He is very interested in marine based food because of the essential fatty acids they produce nowhere else on earth.
